Lock up your uncles, this week Kim and Alice are covering ‘Catherine Called Birdy’. Another example of a contemporary lens on a historical drama, we’re covering what they got right (casting, historically accurate flatulence) and wrong (most other things) in Lena Dunham’s adaptation of this medieval coming-of-age tale.

It’s all poppin’ off (mostly heads) in our first animated period drama: Princess Mononoke. Kim and Alice discuss the darker output of studio Ghibli, how the production approached the depiction of an indigenous culture with scant historical references, and whether they’d spit tree bark into each others’ mouths. This episode is brought to you by sake in a Friends mug and Ice Age 5.

Grab your embroidery, it’s time to party as we cover the 2020 mini-series ‘The Ghost Bride’. It’s the Colonial Malacca drama that has it all; eyebrow wigs, ghosts on Segways and outfits to literally die for.
